Hello Listers, I am transcribing a will of James Caseberde who died in my village of Kingston Bagpuize in 1604. I have a 3 generation family tree for them now. I have tried discovering where the surname appears in Berkshire and Oxfordshire. It is not shown in the Surnames of Oxfordshire book and I don't believe that there is a book of Berkshire surnames. The name or variant of this, as Casbeard, does appear on the Oxfordshire OXSIL surname list though and I have sent a message to the researcher. I searched for both Cakebread [which I think Caseberd could be a variant of] and Caseberd on ancestry.co.uk today and then decided to use the facility to 'Search All Records' and found there a James Caseberd died 1604 which is one I am interested in, within Probate/Glamorgan Wills, but he isn't shown on the National Library of Wales Wills Index that I could see. I don't wish to add to my subscription plan at present, but wondered if anyone had come across this surname in Glamorgan, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, or come to that anywhere, please? The adjoining parish of Longworth is the oldest place in the UK for Anabaptists, who seemed to have come from Glamorgan, so the tale goes, and a Cakebread researcher I have spoken to tells me that his family seemed to be Nonconformists. Best wishes, Jill http://longworth-district-history-society.org.uk
